Summary

Circumferential lumbar fusion demonstrates a high fusion rate and is effective for complex spinal reconstructions. Patient satisfaction is notable, with 62% reporting positive outcomes, particularly for pseudarthrosis and spondylolisthesis.

Area of Science:

  • Spine surgery
  • Orthopedics
  • Neurosurgery

Background:

  • Circumferential lumbar fusion is utilized as a salvage procedure for revision spine surgery.
  • This technique addresses complex reconstructive spinal disease.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the clinical outcomes of instrumented circumferential lumbar fusions.
  • To assess patient satisfaction following this surgical procedure.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective review of 141 patients undergoing instrumented circumferential lumbar fusions.
  • Data collected via patient interviews, satisfaction questionnaires, and medical record review.
  • Outcomes assessed by an independent party after a minimum 2-year follow-up.

Published on: June 6, 2025

  • Solid radiographic fusion achieved in 99% of patients with available 12-month follow-up.
  • Overall complication rate was 20%.
  • 62% of patients reported satisfaction, with higher satisfaction in those with pseudarthrosis or spondylolisthesis with stenosis.

Conclusions:

  • Instrumented circumferential lumbar fusion is a valuable procedure for challenging spinal reconstructions.
  • The study highlights a high fusion rate and significant patient satisfaction.
  • Positive outcomes were observed in working patients and those not classified as injured workers.
